There is a growing interest in broadening the measurement scope of innovation and considering “creative” activities, meaning that the usual indicators of innovation satisfy neither scholars nor policy makers. Conceptually, there is not much difference between innovative and creative activity: but to what extent are current measures that capture innovation relevant for creativity? Can the new measures for creativity benefit from the experience accumulated through R&D and innovation? Our article provides insights and lessons learned from using measures of innovative activities for scholars who are interested in capturing creative activities. We underscore the difficulties faced when measuring innovation and draw some parallels of these difficulties with the efforts undertaken to measure creativity.

A mixture of what is available in the field of creativity measurement in different academic communities. Why should we measure creativity? Measurement can be used for the analysis of policies impacting on creativity. Measurement can allow progress to be monitored ver time, e.g. in students' achievements. Finally measurement also allows country comparison, peer review and policy learning in issues such as how education systems can enhance creativity or the relation between creativity and competitiveness at the country or company level. To meet the challenge of this conference, DG EAC teamed up with the Joint Research Centre (JRC). Several EU policies are related to creativity, such as innovation and entrepreneurship, and several colleagues of different European Commission services joined us and the international experts ... During the conference disciplinary boundaries were crossed and an interesting confrontation took place between those studying creativity for the purpose of increasing individual efficiency, those linking it to competitiveness at the country level, and those aiming to understand the role that education systems can play in fostering it.
